When the white nan first crossed the present southern boundary, races of man were already dwelling there. Jot hundreds, probably for thousands of years, human beings had been born in Arizona a.nd had died there. Like ourselves, these primitive men had hunted and fought there, had married and had planted and harvested. They had prayed, too, and worshipped; and with their hands had fashioned things of beauty long before the white man came upon the scene; they breathed Arizona’s pure and invigorating air; drank in her rich sunshine, gazed at her magic moun- tains and palpitating, many hued mesas, and brooded under her glorious silent stars through the night watches.

The Cr.sa Grande, Union High School building was be- gun in 1920 and dedicated in 1921„ Classes took up in the new high school that same year. Before this, Casa Grande had had no real high school building; classes had been held, in the old residences which war© no longo used for phones; and some high school work had been car- ried on in the Northside Grammar School building, which dated back to 1913. ’ The school was then, as it is now, a union high school; and thd five members of .the school board were Y R , H ?icklin S. P. Morgan, Gladford an k• Bfiiney . The 11-acre grounds on which the school stands were donated by one of the board members. The first superintendent was M. E. Tem- pleton. A Four years of high school work have always been of- fered by the Casa Grande school. At first' there were only five teachers, who taught the English, Spanish, history, mathematics, and home economics departments. The average daily attendance was 65 pupils for the school year 1921-22. Compare that with average atten- dance of 145 pupils last year and 160 pupils this year I Our new gymnasium, with its fine hardwood maple floor, was built with the helu of W. P. A. funds last year. It was dedicated January 8th, 1937, in time for last year’s basketball season. The students of this high school now have a gymnasium of which any high school of comparable size might feel proud. The major addition to the school plant is the lights for the athletic field, which are shown in the picture. These were dedicated October 27th, 1937, be- tween the halves of the football game with Scottsdale. One of the best lighting systems in the state is provi- ded by eight poles, each with four 1500-watt bulbs. The lights hove been used not only for several night foot- kkis yaar, but also by the townspeople for such affairs as the Lions'-Potary softball game. The school plant is used not only bv the punils but ls a social center for the town. During the summer the swimming pool, baseball park, and tennis courts are in constant demand for recreational activities. During Yinter high school is the meeting place for the .T.A., and the athletic field is the site of many ex- citing games between local teams. While the Apache men were gone on a raid, the Pimas and Maricopas pillaged the Apache camp. Next morning the Pimas and Maricopas returned home, taking with them the Apache children and advertising their victory by setting fire to the grass all along the way. The smoke from these fires was seen by Pol-Thaw-Go-Dop- pa, who knew what it meant. He went with his men to a ledge above a narrow pass through which the Pimss and Mari- copa s would have to go to reach their home camps. When he saw the raiders com- ing up the trail carrying with them the Apaches’ possessions and children, he knew the worst had happened and pre- pared to avenge his people. He shot the marauders when they reached the pass. He stopped this only when he saw that some of his own people were being killed. He demanded that the Apache children be released. This was done. Later he killed all the remaining Pimas and Meri- copas. Hoom-o-thy-a, The Legend of Superstition Mountain,'1 The high school board this year consists of: Mr. G. E. Richerson, Mrs. C. K. Raber, Mr. E.Y. Hooper, Mr. Les Milligan, and Mr. Floyd Fergus. The student body deeply appreciates what the board has done for the school. It has given us an excellent faculty, our football lights, and has co-operated with the student body on all occasions. Wo feel that thi3 board will at all times do its part In keeping our school at the top as a progressive institution 3n rhe community and in the state. The administration consists of Dr.. R. A.

The soldier and the padre always marched to- gether; the one on horseback, the other trudg- ing afoot; the one in burnished armor, with sword and helmet, the other in roiigh gray robe, bareheaded, carrying the Crucifix. But the zeal of the priest ever outran the greed of the cavalier. They were alike but upon conquest; but while the heated imagination of the cavalier was busy with pictures of bound- less wealth and with alluring dreams of earth- ly fame, the impassioned heart of the other burned with the desire to add to the glory of the Catholic Church, to reclaim from darkness the lost souls of the heathen, and, perhaps greatest of all, to earn the spiritual luxury of a martyr’s death. Pioneers in Ariz.—Lockwood SCIENCE DEPT. Biology, the study of plants and animals, gives us good ideas pertaining to health, economic values, and conservation of our natural resources, and lays a back- ground for fundamental vocational knowledge. Physics, the study of matter in motion, is made into a very practical and useful subject in this high school through the improved methods of teaching by problems and projects. The science department is directed by G. Max, who was well trained in Arizona schools. Mr. Max is a teach- er with many original ideas and one who draws out the best abilities of his students. ENGLISH DEPT. The aims of the English department are: a thorough understanding of the English language, an aporeciation of our literary inheritance, a basis for judging v;hat is good in current literature, the development of accurate writing in all students,and the encouragement of imagin- ative writing where there are any signs of talent. Three years of English are required for graduating, but all pupils are urged to take four years. The English department is under the able direction of Miss Marguerite Waters. HOME ECONOMICS DEPT-. There are about seventy-five students enrolled in the heme economics department. This year the course has been enlarged to include not only homemaking I, II, and III for girls, but also an applied science course for boys. Home economics can no longer rightfully be called cooking and sewing. Changes in the home made it necess- ary to broaden the experience of the high school girl and offer work in home management, child development, consumer's buying, family and human relationships, and interior decoration Our department has tried to meet these obligations, and we feel that we have accomplished our objectives to a great extent. -■ 4 ,J f-hK -• 1 £js®s ' -_... m__ 'A2j4 k. E 2L--------TEstar.. inoustriai arjs apartment The primary purpose of education is to ae. Jbp yvfcwg. people into happy, useful, successful citizens, Citi- zenship involves the possession of certain desirable ideals, attitudes, habits, and accomplishments. It is toward the development of these that our efforts mustbe directed. The purpose we have as teachers is to bring about these favorable changes in the individual pupil. Industrial arts work is justified, not because the objectives of the industrial arts differ from those of general education, but because experiences provided through industrial arts work offer a more effective and more economical means of developing these desirable ob- jectives, which we recognize as aims of educational ef- fort . Thus we find industrial arts further education through ability to meet certain objectives in a better, more economical way than most academic subjects. MATHEMATICS The mathematics department offers courses in begin- ning and advanced algebra, practical mathematics, plane and solid geometry. Practical mathematics, a comparatively new course here, deals with business and domestic problems. Much practice is given in the every day use of graphs, which are also studied in connection with economic and statis- tical backgrounds. The courses are taught by G. Max and W. Turner. I I BRA P. Y The scene in the library is usually a busy one. The harried librarian seems to possess eight arms as she reaches from the shelves the books called for--novels, biographies, hi.stories. The school is very proud of the library, which dur- ing the past year bought several hundred books, sub- scribed to fifteen magazines, and filled the reference shelves with two complete new sets of encyclopedias. This group was augmented by gifts from local clubs. Other added features are: a built-in counter, a re- vised checking system, and a new filing plan. COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT The work of the commercial department is divided in- to two sections: the vocational training, which includes typing, shorthand, and bookkeeping; and the social—sci- ence courses, which include salesmanship, business law economic geography, business administration, and intro- duction to business training. The large number of students who have enrolled for commercial work has been attracted by both the practical- ity of the work and the variety of courses. The department is fortunate to have at its head Mr. Christy, who has studied at some of the greatest univer- sities in the United States and has an excellent record of successful teaching. Mr. Christy supervises the out- put of necessary supplies such as printed programs and office foras. He also helps direct the work on the news- uaper and annual. SOCIAL, SCIENCE The course of study in our high school makes defin- ite provision for sound training in the field of social science. The various courses in social science include com- munity civics in the first year, world history in the second year, American history in the third year, and problems of democracy in the fourth year. In addition to these required courses classes avVj offered in econ- omic geography and social hygiene. These subjects cover the fields-of history, govern- ment, business, sociology, geography, and the social ec- onomic, and political problems arising under our system of government. Hr. Miller teaches American history, problems of democracy, and social liygiene. I.Ir. Christy teaches com- munity civics, and geography. Miss De Gomez teaches community civics. SPANISH The Spanish department this year consisted of only one class of second year students. A curriculum change placed Spanish I and Spanish II in the junior and senior years. This change has necessitated having only Spanish II this year. During the fall term the class presented at the reg- ular student assembly a short one-act play entitled Mi Novio Espanol , All twenty-five students of the class took part. Miss De Gomez, who teaches Spanish, is a graduate of the University of Arizona. She speaks the language fluently And has the advantage of having spent some time in Spain The A Capella Chorus of 1937-38 was composed of singers from the Music Theory Class. The chorus woited on some advanced and difficult pieces and performed them excellently. The cast for the operetta was picked from the A Capella Chorus. The following people belonged: Sopranos: Dorothy White Wilma Wood Shirley Minor Hilda Baker Marjorie Roettger Tenors: Mack Miller Robert Lyons Paul Deal Altos: Frances Nutti Dorothea Wood Neva Jean Bouldin Basses: Cecil Montgomery John Cook Savoy Gandy Club was changed to .. „This year the usual Boys' Glee the Orpheus Club.

This spring the members of the club assisted in the presentation of the operetta, Bugs'1, and featured a program of songs by Victor Herbert. The finished perfection of each performance was due to the faithful practice of the girls and the conscien- tious vork of their director.

The women of the town are making a gala occasion of the event, decorating the village square, and preparing an elaborate supper for the stranger. Mary Lee, the vil- lage. school teacher, tells Mrs. Coop, the head factotum of the affair, that inasmuch as she went to school with Mr.Bugshy when they were children and knows what he used to like in the way of food, 3hehns prepared his favorite dish, chicken, hot biscuits, and fresh apple pie. Mrs. Coop scornfully pooh-poohs her country supper, saying they have hired a cateress from the city who is bringing food that Mr. Bugshy is used to eating in the best hotels. Mr.Bugshy arrives; hut, alas, a wreck down the line lands the French supper in the ditch and Mary Lee serves her country fare after all. She and Mr. Bugshy ren childhood acquaintance, and he offers her a new posit in Washington as his wife. Mrs. Coop, who has rather her eyes on him herself, throws up her arms in desp First and last, it has been the mines of Arizona that have made her fame and fortune. They have made her romance too; for the glamour of romance gilds every page of Arizona history. The dar- ing and greedy Spaniard who led the way into this region had his fevered brain stuffed with dreams of instant, glitter- ing, fabulous wealth, to be garnered in the form of bright metals and precious gems. He had nc eye but for much wealth to be snatched at once from vTFgin soil or conquered savag6, “ 1 During the first third of the 19th century bands of hardy young trappers invaded these remote fastnesses in quest of farne, fortune, and adventure. So far as Arizona is concerned , these hardy pathfinders are like ships that pas's in the night . it so happens, however, that some of the most knightly and picturesque members of the immortal band touched upon Arizona soil, and in passing left more or less enduring re- cords in geography, literature, and pa- triotic achievement.

Its slogan is: clean living, clean speech, clean scholar- ship, and clean athletics. There were very few old members from last year, but with a membership drive a large group was added. Its activities were very successful. Several invi- tational parties were given. The annual dance was changed from a formal to a novelty dance, which was also ■altogether new in this part of the country. The con eluding activity for the year was the lettermen 1 s. banquet.

These men came from everywhere and for ever3r sort of reason. Some came to forget, some to be forgotten, some came for sudden gain, some for adventure; some on a wild-goose chase; some found themselves stranded here; and some came with the dream of building an empire in the Southwest.

In September, 1934, fifty embryo Cougars entered C. G. U. High School. Many obstacles were encountered by these green freshmen. Insurmountable assignments and requirements, and harsh, unbending teachers seemed to meet them at every turn. Despite these prevailing difficulties they took time out to enjoy the extra-curricular activities, win- ning two annual track meets, first as sophomores and again the following year. As juniors they not only showed skill in brawn but also were proclaimed an excellent money-making body when they successfully produced, with the cooperation and as- sistance of the other classes, a Hallowe’en Carnival, raising sufficient funds to finance the annual Junior- Senior Banquet. Having had the whole school on their work-worn hands, the seniors have ,striven to set the perfect ex- ample for their proteges. They have tried to lead the way in sportsmanship, character, and all manly and wo- manly virtues. The senior activities were numerous. Those spon- sored were: a Student Body dance, annual field meet, a senior play, and last, but most significant to the seniors—graduation.

When I stepped from the press building, whom should I meet but Ray McNeil, a fellow graduate of the 38” I class from C. G. U. H. S. After shaking hands, we went into a restaurant to talk things over. Tell me, Ray. What are you doing now?5’ I queried. I am running the local airport in C. G.; and I have a farm that adds to my income, he replied. You’re doing quite well,” I commented. Yes, Remember Don Cantrell? He's the mayor of Eloy. You wouldn't recognize him now, he’s so digni- fied. Have the others done well by themselves? I asked. Yes, they have. Jewel is married, and her husband has taken over the B L Garage. Her old chum, Liberty, is now operating the telephone office in C. G. Lillian Armenta married a fellow from Long Beach who owns a string of service stations, What is Dan Hatchett doing? He is a professor of chemistry in Stanford Uni- baseball versity. Good for himi I exclaimed. Danny Armenta is p lairing professional and is about to sign up with a major team. Harvey Parker has a good position with the Depart- ment of Agriculture, Wilma Wood, your other Sacaton neighbor, is run- ning a beauty shop in C. G.; and her friend, Agnes, is her partner. Olita Darter is married to one of my farm neighbors. I understand that Pete Robertson and Ed Hooper consolidated and are running a cattle ranch. Is right? ' Yes, ho replied. They're making quite a go of it too. Willie Waddington is also farming. He owns a hundred and twentyj ggr fewest of C. — Bouldin? ’’Dorothy is married to a fellow from Pasadena, Neva Jean is sole owner of one of the largest cafes in Casa Grande. ’’Cecil Montgomery is operating a radio store in San Francisco, and Art Me Paddin is head mechanic in one of the leading Santa Monica garages I know; but what are Wilma Kinsley, Hilda Baker, and Edith Ethington doing?'’ ’’Wilma is employed in a dry goods store in C. G., and Hilda is married and is living in Phoenix. Edith is married and is living in Tucson. Her husband is a prom- inent Tucson attorney.” I have often wondered what became of Marge Don. Do you know?” ’’She is secretary in an insurance company office in Tucson.” ’’And Jim Cook? ’’He is the dealer for Ford cars in Coolidge,” came the reply, ’’Let’s see,” I mused. There are Rozella Ott, Mar- jorie Roettger, Olivia Altus, and Hokey Overland. What are these graduates doing? Hokey is the station master for Casa Grande; Rozella and Marjorie are both married and are living in California; and Olivia is married and is running a dairy near C. G.” Have you heard that Kellie Wilson’s red hair at- tracted an artist for whom she is now posing? Is that so? Of course, everyone knows that Geraldine Kinchlowe graduated from college in two years. She surely was smart. Ravenal has taken up the domestic life. Well, I said, that accounts for every one of our fellow graduates. They were and are a group of friends well worth knowing.

This event was a credit to the juniors. It was carried out in the Hawaiian th me. This year the custom of having the senior class put out the year book was changed, and the juniors have done their best to present to you an annual that will be worthy of your praise.

Miss Waters, helped them in all of their endea- vors. At the first of the year the sophomores had a reception in honor of the freshman class which was at- tended by all classes in school. At the first of school the class elected as offi- cers for the year': Joy Thornton--------------------------president Tip Killings worth---------------Vice-president Marjorie Lee----------------secretary-treasurer Mary Sell- ----------------------representative Miss Waters-----------------------------sponsor Also elected was Mrs. Austrum, who was to be their class mother and attend their parties and picnics. In the middle of the first semester the freshmen painted the C.G. under the supervision of the sophomore class and their sponsor. At the last of the second sem- ester they had a class party which the freshmen declared to be the best party of the year. Contestsof physical skill have al- ways played an important part in the history of the people of the great south- west . In the days of the pioneer and early miner these activities were of ne- cessity organized on the basis of indi- vidual skill. Feats of strength, rougfr- and tumble wrestling bare-knuckled fighting, and the quick draw were all feats of physical skill enjoyed by our early settlers. With the development of a more sta- bilized population sports, too, became more stablizad. Sports calling for more team play were gradually introduced and developed. Today Arizona can well be proud of her many successes on the athletic field in local and national competition. FOOTBALL The Cougar team was fortunate in having many re- turning lettermen this year. We won four and lost five games this season and scored 110 points to our opponents' 115 points. This year's team hsd four boys who received high honorable mention on the all-valley and all-state teams: Armenta, Cantrell, Hatchett, and McFaddin.

Sunnary of games Buckeye 38 Casa Grande 7 Until the closing seconds of the first half the score stood 12-7. It was anybody's game. Then Buck- eye's aerial ploys and their powerful running plays be- I gan to click, and we were no match for then, it is in- j teresting to note, however, that we scored more points i against them than did any other team. Hayden 7 Casa Grande 9 A slow game which we wore lucky to win. Gilbert 0 Ca� a Grande 33 We really turned the fireworks loose in this game. Every type of play seemed to click, and Gilbert was powerless against a team that hod the spirit as well as the punch. Scottsdale 6 Casa Grande 27 Long runs and plenty of defense power featured this game. We outclassed a heavier team on this occasion. Coolidge 0 Casa Grande 20 Held to a scoreless tie at the end of the first half, the Cougars came out for blood the second half and powerhoused their way through to a decisive victory. Coolidge Cubs noVcr advanced the ball beyond our 25 yard stripe during the whole game . Chandler 13 Casa Grande 0 Our winning streak finally broke, and the Coug 't their second defeat of the season in six games. Florence 12 We greatly outclassed first half, but they came route. Casa Grande 6 our traditional rivals the back to win via the aerial Peoria 26 Casa Grande 7 A powerful team outplayed us after Cantrell and Mc- Faddin, our real ground gainers, were taken from the game with injuries. Florence 13 Casa Grande 0 This was a slow game in which the Cougars failed to put the ball across the goal stripe. This was the sec- ond game of the season in which we failed to score. This football season of 1937-38 was the most suc- cessful Casa Grande has had for several years. e A S K E T B A L L Comnleting one of the best basketball ye is, uW ss place at the East Central Tournament at Mesa. The team played twenty-one games, won lost nine. In the East Central Tournament at IV.esa Flor once defeated the Cougars 24-23 in the championship play off. mha team this year was composed of four seniors, a 1uni0r and a sophomore--Don Cantrell, Danny Armenta JimCoSkt Willie Waddington, Albert Nussbaumer, and Earnest Dayis. The team scored 423 points, with Don Cantrall high point man and Danny Armenta next. As the scores indicated, the out-standing games were played against Coolidge, Chandler, and Florence, in each of these games the spores were not over two points difference. To reach the champion - ship play off at the Mesa tournament, the Cougars played and defeated Tempe 34-15, Coolidge .5”- -27. and Ray 2r� -24. The outstanding game of the tournament was played between Florence and Casa Grande. Florence had already defeated us twice lj.0-11 and ipO-lO, and little resistence was expected from us; but from the opening quarter it was a fight to determine the better team, which Florence seemed to be by a close score of 2[|_-23. Don Cantrell was awarded All Tournament Forward and was chosen captain. The Cougars were defeated at the State Tournament in Tucson by Tucson and Ajo, thus eliminating them from furthpr play. The second team was nearly as succesrful as the first team, winning 7 games and loosing five. Tip KiH- ingsworth was high point man, with Henry Armenta second. All second tearuers will return next season, assur- ing the Cougars of a strong squad next season. The Cougars met Glendale in the second team tourna- ment at Scottsdale and were defeated by the tournament winners 30 -2lp. The roster was; Tip Killingsworth, Henry Armenta, Mack Miller, Art Mode, Claude Miller, Olon Raley, Richard Thurman. Loyd Ha.ckler, Ed Armenta, and Wallace Patrick. The squad was cut from 2.5 to i2 during the last three weeks of practice to enable Coach Turner to do more work with individual players in preparation for tournaments. By giving much of his time to working with the Fresh- man recruits, Coach will build one of the best clubs in the district next year, as four of the first team will be lost by graduation. The 1938 baseball season began v ith high hopes for a most successful campaign Many veterans returned to form the nucleus of a well-balanced club. In addition a transfer, Donnie Cantrell, was on hand to assume the pitching job. The veteran pitcher Armenta was moved to first base, which further strengthened the infield. Sub- sequent events, however, served to break up tho original strong line-up. After getting away, to an impressive start, the team was seriously crippled when Danny Armen- ta reached tho age limit on tho evo of the Florence game. A short while later the veteran Holmes was lost to tho team, resulting in another shift in'the infield. Nevertheless,tho team spirit revived aftet these set- back and behind the phenomenal pitching of Cantrell, the Cougars went on to complete one of the most success- ful seasons in Cougar baseball history. The climax of the season came with tho victory over Buckeye for the championship of tho Valley Conference. t Hokey Ovorland: Hokoy1' la mother senior who has at all timos played, good baseball this year. He will be missed a great deal, Dan Westmoreland: Manager . The interests of the team have been his interests. A good manager. Utility players; George Fain, Lynn Morrill, Johnnie Diwah,'Ro5ef€ hTTe, Ernest Davis, Kieth Carlton, Joe Harris. These boys have stuck to practice conscientious- ly, even though some of them have never been in a game this year. They have what it takes. In the final game played with Coolidge, the Cougars , conquerors of Buckeye for one championship, soundly beat the East Central champion Coolidge team, although the Coolidge boys still retain their championship of theEast Central district.

On hi3 shoulders was placed the responsibility for the success or failure of the team. The season� s rocord indicates how well he carried that responsibility� Ho undeniably is the loading high school pitcher in Arizona. Dick Vasquoz: Dickie reccivod the slants and fast ones from Cantrell in every gamo and did an excellent job. Danny Armonta: Gomez played first baso until ho I roachod tho age limit. He was the spark plug of the toam and tho leading hitter. His loss hurt a groat deal. Claudo Millor: Sour Puss assumed Danny s job at first base. Ho has played very good ball all soason. Ho will bo back next year, a seasoned veteran. Dick Thurman: Dick has played an excellent game all season, and his hitting has boon a vital factor in tho team’s succoss. Mack Millor: Mack has playod both third and ehort this year and has done a crcditablo piece of work. His hitting has helped on sovoral occasions. Tip Killingsworth: Tip although a freshman has played some very good games. A groat deal will bo ex- po ctcd of him next year. Paul Vasquoz: Specs is the smallost man on the toam yet one of tho most reliable. He has been a regular all season. Willie Waddington: Willie has one two occasions got- ten tho hit that won tho game. His loss to tho team on graduation will be a heavy one. ATHLETIC PERSONNEL Three teams are going to miss Danny Armenta who grac.uated this year. End in football for three years, pitcher in baseball for three, and forward in basketball for three years, he has proved himself to be a good man to have around the school. The loss of Willie Waddington by graduation will be a big set-back to the football and basketball teams. Willie lettered in basketball and football for three years and baseball two years. i! The man called on to replace Hay McNeil next year has a tv o man job in store for him. Ray played center in football and played more minutes than any other play- er on the team. Ray is a three letterman. The outstanding line backer in football was Dan Hatchett, captain of this year's term. Three letter man Dan was responsible for the downfall of many of the would be touchdown plays of our opponents. Graduation will claim Dan this year. Proving himself to be one of the most versatile athletes in high school this year, Don Cantrell made letters in football, basketball, and baseball, and was a very valuable man on each team. Don was a transfer here. Playing only two years of varsity footba3.1, Harvey Parker proved himself to be very capable line man, Graduation claims Harvey also this year. Rated as one of the test fullbacks in the state,Art McFaddin completes his fourth year of competetion for Casa Grande this year. Art was honorable mention as fullback on the all-state roster this past secason. Ed Hooper made his second letter this season in baseball, Ed, an out fielder, was very competent. Graduation takes Ed from C. G. High. Hokey Overland also made his second letter this year in baseball. A senior, Hokey leaves a place that will be hard to fill. ;i j :i } i i i GIRLS SPORTS The fall of 1937 saw the beginning of an organized inter-class program in girls' physical education. Dur- ing the fall term the majority of the 75 ginls enrolled in the department took active part in the inter-class tourname Results of the tournaments were as follows: Games won Seniors - 3 Games Lost Seniors 12 Juniors 13 Juniors . 2 Sophomores - 11 Sophomores - ip Freshmen - 6 Freshmen 9 During the second semester additional sports were introduced. 3ask.etball was played durihg the first eight weeks, followed by thre: weeks of beginning dancing. The remainder of the semester was devoted to baseball, horseshoes, volley ball, and the two new sports, badmin- ton and deck tennis. This year's athletic ability was recognized by .the selection of the fifteen outstanding all-round athletes. These g irls were chosen by a committee of class rep- resentatives and the class instructor, Miss DeGomez. The fif-teen outstanding all- round athletes were as f oilows: E ;ie 2aker Hilda Baker Annie Qricker Virginia Cruz .Marjorie Don ' Avis Dunagan'• Maida Dunagan Dorothea wood Lois Gladish Josephine Jackson Marjorie Lee Doris Mc Mains Mary Sell Mary Lou Trekeil Ruth Ward Honorable Mention Lorraine Dickson Virginia Kinser Clara Austrum OTHER SPORTS Physical Educ tion The school purchased two badminton sets and four sets of horseshoes for the physical education classes. These were played mostly during the winter, when it was cold. During the fall and spring months the class was div- ided into several- groups. One group played tennis, a- nother took dancing, and another played spring football. Spring football was started after the basketoall season to observe material for next year’s squad. Prac- tice was held on the front lawn. Two games were played with neighboring cimmunities for scrimmage. Many boys were interested in tennis, and a tourna- ment for singles and doubles was run off. Every boy or girl in school has to take physical ed- ucation at least two dsvs of each week for credit. 'Phis is a state reouirement for graduation. The_class is held the last neriod of the day. Mr. Turner is the in- structor. It has been planned by the Cougar Club to install in the extra room downstairs, several table-tennis sets. These could be used on rainy and cold days. All of the physical education boys took part in the Easter Pageant, which was held in front of the high school. ±J The people of Arizona have develop- ed a well rounded program of activities The climate and geography gove to the people of Arizona an ideal environment in which they nay‘engage in almost any desirable activity Whether these activities be voca- tional, avocational, or recreational Arizona wholeheartedly lends itself to their pursuit Every year an evef increasing number of men and women are finding here in Arizona the place where they wish to build their homes and settle permanent- ly Campus ueen At the Home-coming game on our own ground, Nov. 11, Edith Ethington was crowned as the first camous queen by Dan Hatchett, captain of the football team. The Cou- gar Band played a march as the queen and her attendents, Gladys Majors and Annis Wright, walked out on the field to be met by the football1.team. Junior Carnival The annual junior carnival was made into something different this year and was called Fun-nite. The night of the dedication of the new lights on the foot- ball gridiron was chosen by the juniors as the best time to put on the carnival. Decorated booths were set up behind the gymnasium. Popcorn, peanuts, candy, hambur- gers, noisemakers, paper hats, etc. were sold. After the game a big dance was held in the gymnasium. Junior Play This year the juqiors were aided by the dramatic class, to present the play, Step on it Stan . The play was a snappy, comical, and fast-moving one. The cast included: Golie Patrick- Bonnie Kane--- Gladys Majors- Hokey Overland La.Verna Majors Savoy Gandy--- Betty Ludwig— Jimmy Irby---- Betty Joe Ward' -------------Stan ------------peggy ------------Sybil -----Ray Crider ------------Hazel ----------Charlie -----Sarah Boggs ---Sid A. Presly •Prudence Quimbly The Big Shoe This year marked the beginning of a tradition mak- ing keener competition between the Casa Grande Cougars and the Coolidge Cubs on the football field. Coolidge proposed that there be a trophy awarded the winner of the Coolidge—Casa Grande game every year. There was a boy on the Coolidge team who had enormous feet—they call for a size 142- shoe. One of his football shoes enameled blue and red was taken for the trophy. Casa Grande won the game from Coolidge by a score of 20-0, thereby become ing the custodian of the Big Shoe . We hope to keep it. Mrs. Harwood Left The home economics teacher, Mrs. Edith Harwood,re- signed her position in the Casa Grande High School to go to Montana. She is teaching home economics in the state college. She was succeeded by Miss Gertrude Hippe. Frosh Paint C. G. The sophomores and freshmen went to the Casa Grande Mountains one Friday afternoon with barrels of whitewash and water. They all seemed to have had fun even if the Freshmen were sunburned, sore, and paint splashed$and the C. G. on the mountain looked a little brighter, too. Field Lights This year one of the great dreams of the Cesa GJrande High School was fulfilled. We had lights put on our football field. Since we have been using them our gate receipts have been much higher, and more interest has been taken in our team by the townspeople. The first game played under the lights was the Scottsdale— Q. G. game. Arthur Ward, in one assembly, gave us a very inter- esting talk on his trip v ith the Boy Scouts to Washing- ton, D.C., where they were greeted by the president. During the two months Arthur was traveling he visited Chicago and New York as well as the capital city. Mr. William Coxon told us about his stay in , Old Mexico. He is interested in Indian hiero-glyphics and found material in Mexico comparable to signs in this valley. The pictures Mr. Coxon brought we re used'' to illus- lustrate his talk and were ample proof of his theory that the Casa Grande ruins are the remains of the'first Indian capital in North America. ’ - Coach Turner frequently was called up to talk be- fore the assembly. Everyone enjoyed these talks im- mensely. In one assembly he related the adventures of the basketball team while they were at the State Tourna- ment in Tucson. Usually after the Florence—C. G. games he had to give us cheering talks. Miss Foyer from the Flagstaff College talked to us on Arizona literature. She told us several Indian leg- ends, of which she has quite a collection and some of which she has already published. School Dances This year there were a number of all-school dan-ces held in the gymnasium. Some of these were given during the social hour on Fridays; others were evening dances. Senior Projects The senior class worked very hard this year to ob- tain money. Every noon in the lower hall seniors sold candy. At some of the basketball gomes they sold pop corn. They also held dances. Hick Day- On Friday morning, April..] the Hicks came to town! Everyone, dressed up in his oldest clothes and acted his hickiest. First period the Hicks spent in their classes. An assembly was then called and King and Queen of the Hicks were elected. Ray MoNeil and Betty Rose Eisenbach were honored as the royalty. Everyone then went to the Cottonwoods where the all-school picnic was held A little later the Florence High School came for a all-school picnic. The Casa Grande girls challenged the Florence girls to a softball game with C.G. winning 6-2. At 12.00 the Hicks and visitors left for the high school, where a baseball game between C.G. and Florence was played, Florence winning 4-0. That evening a dance was held. Everyone had a very good time and was sorry it was over. Easter Pageant On Good Friday, April 15, the high school presented an Easter pageant entitled The Crucifixion' . It was under the supervision of Mr. Max and was a wonderful suc- cess , The cost of characters were: Christ--------------------------------Dan Hatchett Chief Priest (Hoddii)----------Jimmy Irby Beggar (Pedario)-----------Hokey Overland Mary Magdalene----------------------Jewel Bottreill Judas--------------------------------Pete Robertson Pilate------------------------------Golie Patrick Joseph----------------------Nathan Coxon Mary, Mother of Christ-----Betty Jo Ward Mary of Salome---------------------Gladys Majors General-------------------------------Ray McNeil Mob-----------------Students of Hi School Entertainers--------Students of Hi School Scenes Streets in front of City Tax Building.

The play was one of the best ever seen here and everyone enjoyed it immensely After the play was over the Florence High School Orchestra played for a dance which was held in the gymnasium. Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom The Junior-Senior Banquet was held in the gymnasium on April 20. The junior class president, gave the wel- coming speech. Ray McNeil, senior class president, gave the acceptance speech for the seniors. The program of the evening included several songs and dances by local talent. The prom followed, and it was a gay meeting for the two classes. Annual Party On May 13, the Annual Party was held in the gym- nasium. Everyone came and brought his annual for his friends to autograph.. After the annuals were signed, a dance was held. Everyone enjoyed the evening. Vesper Services Senior Vesper Services were held May 15, 1938. The Rev. Robertson gave the sermon. Rev. Curry Love de- livered ohe invocation. Rev. Marshall gave the bene- diction. There were several solos by the different stu- dents; high school glee clubs sang also. Graduation Graduation of the class of 1938 was held in the high school auditorium on Friday evening, May 20, at 8:30 P.M. The speaker of the evening was Dr. J.W.
